October 11

Every now and then, I'll see something out in nature that literally takes my breath away. I had one of those moments this afternoon while we waited for Isaac to get out of school. Brady was playing near a large old tree in the park. I've walked by this particular tree thousands of times, but I'd never really stopped to look up into its branches until today.

Maybe it was the filtered sunlight or the way the thousands upon thousands of leaves rustled in the breeze or how the branches reached unencumbered toward the sky or maybe it was something else entirely, but I felt an instant sense of awe as I looked upward. Sometimes, there's something comforting about feeling very small.

Creation is pretty awesome.
